Arzl, Innsbruck — Area Guide & Where to Stay
Arzl is a residential district of Innsbruck, known through its parish churches rather than through any single monument.
About Arzl
Where to stay in Arzl
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
People sleep in Arzl and sightsee elsewhere. Rooms are few in these streets, and most visitors book them for quiet, for parking, or for a stay near family in Innsbruck rather than for the walk to any sight. Mühlau lies within an easy stroll.
Anyone counting on evening choice does better in the city centre, with the Auferstehungskirche side kept for sleeping.
About Arzl
What are the main landmarks in Arzl?
Arzl's landmark list is largely churches. The Auferstehungskirche and the Pauluskirche stand among the housing blocks, while the Radiomuseum "Radiowelt" keeps a radio collection that suits a wet afternoon better than any viewpoint. Nothing here shouts.
The triangulation point at Mühlau marks the surveyors' work in the ground next door, and the walk out to it makes a modest errand for a free hour.
What is the history of Arzl?
Little is written down about Arzl. Arzl reads as one of the quarters Innsbruck absorbed as it spread, its older core now ringed by housing and its parish life carried by the Auferstehungskirche and the Pauluskirche. Mühlau sits alongside.
Its triangulation point belongs to an older business of measuring the ground, a marker left by survey crews rather than by architects.
Where is Arzl?
Arzl spreads along the outer streets of Innsbruck, next to Mühlau and its triangulation point, well away from the crowds of the centre.
